Ira waved her palm in front of Dhruv's face trying to bring him back from the shock given by her.
"I don't mind even if you mind my words".
Smiling sarcastically at him she is about to move from there but stopped in her tracks when he called her. Huffing in irritation she turned back. Dhruv came near her, faking a smile while saying.
"Never mind. It's worth waiting for an angel like you. Will plan some other time".
Saying this he clutched her hand and brought it near his lips. He was about to kiss her knuckles but landed his mouth on his own palm as she took her hand back.
"My hand is not some cheap cigar to entertain your lips. And ya, please do inform me beforehand when you plan any date. As I have to make myself busy at that time".
She left from there followed by Nathan leaving a fuming Dhruv behind. They both sat inside the car and bursted out into laughter.
"That was epic dear". Told Nathan patting her head.
"It could be exceptional only if you have retorted him back for humiliating you Uncle Nathan. I mean, too much patience is injurious to your mind. He is just a kid in front of you". She gritted her teeth.
"Let's leave all that dear. The truth is middle class person like me can't stand in front of rich brats like them"
Ira rolled her eyes hearing this " Uncle Nathan, you are staying numb in front of that narrow minded person just because of your status?".
"Okay now you don't spoil your mood because of this issue and let's move on from here".
He started the car whereas Ira just shook her head sideways seeing him ignoring the topic. She plucked head phones inside her ears and relaxed while listening to music.
AT OTHER SIDE OF THE CITY :
Evana is sobbing continuously, not able to digest the fact that she literally got arrested. Her mind drifted back to the memories of the morning where Aariz and herself had planned for a dinner date and were very excited about it. But all of a sudden this horrific incident entered her life like an unwanted guest.
More than that she is extremely perplexed pondering over the thing that on earth made these people to address her husband as a star of the film industry when he is actually an architect. She pressed her forehead, unable to understand how come Aariz became the founder of an orphanage all of a sudden.
"Please give me a mobile. I want to talk to my husband". She asked the police with a pleading tone.
"Look, Mrs.Vyas, we already told you that whatever you want to speak, you can in the police station. For now, please stay quiet".
"Why do I need your permission to talk to my own husband? Who the hell are you all? I want to inform my husband in what situation I landed". Yelled Evana.
"Mrs.Vyas please calm down and watch your tone. You can't talk to us like that. And about informing your husband, we will do it after reaching the station". Warned the officer.
Evana lost all her patience hearing his reply and got frustrated . She screamed on top of her lungs jumping in her place.
"Just give me a mobile, I want to talk to Aariz. You can't stop me from talking to him. Let me inform him dammit".
The lady cops tried to control her but she is nowhere to give heeds to anyone and is moving vigorously while uttering the same thing. The day's events took a troll over her senses turning her aggressive. Seeing them trying to control her she bent forward and clutched the steering wheel with her hands which were handcuffed and started to move it recklessly.
The cops tried to control her only to make her more aggressive. She started to hit the driver's face with the back of her palm. He lost his balance in driving making the car go out of control. Within a fraction of seconds the car collided with the nearby tree.
The diver lost his consciousness as his head got banged with the steering wheel. All the other cops got out of the car coughing heavily. It took time for them to compose themselves.
"Hey, where is she?".
The senior officer shouted at the lady cops finding Evana nowhere. They all moved forward searching for her and saw her hiring a cab hiding her hands behind not to reveal the handcuffs to the driver and got inside it. They ran towards her but were too late as the cab already went out of their reach.
Evana is on the way to her spa thinking to call her husband once reaching there. She realized that she didn't have any amount with her to pay the price of the ride as she left her clutch in her car itself. Leaning down, she removed her golden earrings and placed them on the seat.
The driver stopped the car in front of the spa and she got down. He asked her the charges.
"The thing which is in the back seat is for you. I don't have money right now. Accept that".
She walked forward without giving a glance to him. Scrunching his eyebrows in confusion he looked back and got startled seeing a pair of golden ear rings. He smiled, taking them into his hands and mumbled looking at her retreating figure.
"Seems she just ran out of some mental asylum". He moved from there mumbling this.
Evana is rushing towards the elevator at the ground floor but stopped in her tracks seeing a sharp stone at the corner. Looking around carefully she ran towards the stone and started to hit the handcuffs to it. She is vigorously rubbing and hitting it to the rock trying to get rid of it.
She huffed in relief seeing it disentangle and removed it from her hands. She threw it in the trash and moved inside the elevator.
On reaching the floor of her spa she ran outside the lift. She stopped at the entrance clutching the door knob. Evana just stood over there trying to calm down her breath. She quickly adjusted her dress and hair properly. Taking a deep sigh she opened the door and stepped inside.
The receptionist who is busy attending a phone call hangs up the call seeing her.
"Hello Mam, how may I help you?". Greeted the receptionist with a sweet smile.
Evana looked at her getting confused. She took steps towards her and asked.
"Who are you? And where is Nazia?".
"Sorry Mam, but I'm working as a receptionist over here and I'm not aware of a person named Nazia".
"You? How come you are a receptionist over here? This job belongs to Nazia". Asked the perplexed Evana.
The receptionist chuckled at her words, " Mam I'm sure that you are talking out of some misunderstanding. I've been working here for a couple of years".
"That's impossible". Exclaimed a flabbergasted Evana.
"Mam will you please tell me the purpose of your visit as I don't have the whole day to argue with you". Told the receptionist a bit rudely, getting frustrated with her talks.
"Why should I tell you some purpose to enter into my own spa?". Retorted Evana with the same tone.
"What? You are not the owner of this spa. Who are you and what rubbish are you talking about?".
Evana got horror stricken, unable to digest the words uttered by her. She glanced at the whole surroundings and gasped out loud when her gaze met the name of the spa at the entrance.
"M&k spa".
She whispered the name written over there stressing her mind not getting how come the name of her spa changed all of a sudden from EV spa to M&K.
"M&k spa". Evana whispered the name written over there stressing her mind not getting how come the name of her spa changed all of a sudden from EV spa to M&K. "This is impossible. Who the hell changed the name of my spa?"yelled Evana, unable to digest the sight which she was witnessing right in front of her. It's impossible for her to even believe her own eyes. The receptionist huffed getting tired of all her antics finding them completely weird. She stepped outside her cubicle screaming for security. Without paying any heed to her, Evana is just rushing inside the spa not caring about the receptionist who is telling her to stop in her tracks in a bit stern tone. &
" Aariz ", is the only word escaped from Evana's mouth seeing the person beside her. Tears pooled in her eyes, feeling all her hopes to lead a happy life which were crushed down with each and every incident since the day's beginning has again found a new life with a glimpse of her husband. The next moment she landed herself in his arms giving a bone crushing hug to him with such force making his back hit the car door losing balance. The only thing which is able to express her condition at the moment are her tears which are continuously flowing out from her eyes. " Calm down babe, just calm down. Relax. Nothing is gonna happen to you. Now your husband is there right in front of you, for you. You don't need to be scared of anything." Consoled Aariz in a composed tone.
" What on this planet made those people of the orphanage and even the cops tell me that you are a film star and the founder of that orphanage"? Asked Evana and clutching her chest where her heart is thudding in rapid speed as her steps whether to choose the path of life or of death is dependent on his answer. " Honey, why are you asking such a question. Of course, you do know that I'm a star in the film industry" The words that escaped from Aariz literally spinned Evana's head. She flinched in her place unable to analyse still how many thunderstorms are in a race to reach her. " How can this be true? You are an architect not an actor. But why are you even acting in front of me, framing yourself as some movie star?" Asked Evana where each word flying from her mouth is c
A child in her age six is running around the whole. Her legs are aching due to not receiving any sort of rest for the past few minutes. She stood near the dining table painting very hard and caressed her back feeling pain over there. She took hold of the water bottle on the table which automatically made her realize the desperateness of her throat. She licked her mouth seeing the water in front of her which created cravings inside her dry tongue. With quivering hands she took hold of the bottle and looked around cautiously with her eyes that turned completely red and are swollen deeply. Getting relieved knowing the surroundings are free she opened the lid and is about to quench her thirst. "Aaaaahhhhhh", a wild groan passed through her mouth while the bottle slipped away from hands , sensing a sharp pain on her back. She hi
Ira leaned back on the headboard, her breathing became heavy when feeling the person almost near her. She bite her lips harshly praying not to make her taste the bitterness of the past once again. She screamed out of fear getting out of the quilt sensing a touch on her shoulder. " Ira dear, what happened to you. What's wrong?". She stopped screaming recognizing the voice and slowly opened her eyes which are now completely red in colour. She exhaled a relief breath seeing Nathan standing in front of her with his eyes showing concern. She travelled her gaze all around the room and was relieved to realise the lights turned on. " The same nightmare, isn't it". Nathan passed a glass of water to her.
Evana scrunched her eyebrows, stirring in her sleep. She sensed some black object blocking her eyes. She slowly opened her eyes, fighting with sleep. The moment her orbs got released to the world all her sleep flew away seeing herself only a few inches away from the gun point. Her breath got caught in her throat looking at the gun aiming at her forehead. Her eyes widened in horror and a loud gasp escaped from her mouth. With much difficulty she managed to lift her gaze towards the owner of the hand who is holding the gun. Shock is an underestimated word to describe her state right now. She is unable to believe what she is actually seeing. The person on whom her husband trusted her safety is the one who is standing taking the form of death in front of her. Before she could react in any way she found herself being dragged out
Tears started to roll down through her seeing her life reaching an edge point. She is weeping profusely not wanting to end her life, definitely not like this. She is just wishing for some miracle to happen which will get her out from the crocodile's clutches.He slapped her hard on her cheek which made her fall on the ground. She felt a sharp pain at the corner of her lips and traced her finger over there. She saw blood on her fingers." Thinking of yourself as very smart ha?". Leaning dangerously " But you know what? I'm the smartest. And now bear the result of performing your stunts with me".He pointed the gun at her face and laughed evilly pulling out the trigger. Evana closed her eyes tightly scolding her heart for trying to inhale oxygen after completely
Ira is walking all alone on the silent streets where the whole environment is too lame for her character. As she is the person who hates the numbness around her and only wishes to stay with the loud music, a person by her side on whose expense she can have fun and at least in that situation where she won't feel as being left out in a dark isolated desert.But right now, she is loving this calmness as it's not projected as some numbness but as some peace giving element to her heart. The storm which is running inside her soul is making her crave for this type of nature so that she can at least fight her inner turmoil without any hindrance of outside disturbance. She can't help but to accept the fact of her life that she likes to drown in the ocean of loneliness during the time when she is waging war with the demons of her past. The tears that she suppressed in the presence of Nathan are now rol
